I've just started to learn to use XCode and Objective C using Aaron
Hillegass's book. (I fit his profile of a suitable beginner, as I'm a
long-time C/C++ programmer who used Smalltalk some time ago.) I'd like
to
be able to make a renamed copy of an existing project, but can't see
how
to do this with Xcode. Once I've taken one of Hillegass' tutorial
projects
to a certain point, I'd like to suspend work on that copy (e.g.
SpeakLine1) and start again with a renamed copy (e.g. SpeakLine2).
Hillegass' - like so many books of its genre - asks the reader to
progress
through a number of stages, each stage building on (and often throwing
away large parts of) the last. I'd like to keep each of the stages as a
separate project to see where I've been.
I've tried copying all a project's files in Finder, then renaming any
file
containing the old project name in the new copy. It isn't enough.
Any suggestions?
What's probably going to be a lot easier is not to change the files,
but the name of the container.
That is, put the project and other related files into a
folder/directory and rename that. You'll need to make sure that all of
the references within the project are project- or group-relative (that
is, they don't refer to full paths; I usually have the files relative
to the enclosing group, and make my groups project-relative). Then,
it's just a matter of renaming the folder that contains your code.
Once you hit a milestone, copy the folder and start working with the
new one.
